Ancestors, I told you to seduce the villains, not to turn evil.

In her dream, Xu Manman and Han Shaohua were being affectionate, which successfully triggered Fei Huainan's descent into darkness, ultimately leading to her being killed by Fei Huainan.

At that time, Fei Huainan was still a cripple who couldn't even stand up, yet he could unleash astonishing strength.

They're alive and kicking now; I could easily kill them, or even tear them to pieces.

Xu Manman doesn't want to die.

But she didn't want to, yet Han Shaohua was eager to pursue her.

He provoked Fei Huainan, then looked at Xu Manman and asked with a smile.

"Xu Manman, have you missed me?"

Xu Manman stumbled and almost tripped over herself.

"What the hell are you thinking? Are you sick in the head?"

Han Shaohua is asking for death by saying such things in front of Fei Huainan.

He's courting death, fine, but don't drag her down with him.

Xu Manman didn't even glance at Han Shaohua before turning around and running to Fei Huainan's side.

“He came over here on his own and started talking to himself. I don’t know him at all.”

Han Shaohua was dumbfounded by Xu Manman's actions, and when he heard her call her a scumbag, he was furious.

“Xu Manman, do you have any conscience? I spent half a month with you digging for wild vegetables, chopping firewood and carrying water for you, feeding the chickens and ducks, and I even reinforced your yard.”

He did so much work for her, and Xu Manman actually dared to turn her back on him. She's really despicable.

Xu Manman felt no guilt whatsoever upon hearing this.

Han Shaohua worked for her with ulterior motives; she was merely using him for a small reason.

Besides, what's wrong with doing some work?

Xu Manman said with disdain, "You're a soldier, and you have the nerve to complain about doing such a small job? Even a teenager can do it better than you."

He almost dug up poisonous mushrooms while foraging for wild vegetables, nearly tripped over his own foot while chopping firewood, and his sturdy yard crumbled at the slightest touch—and Han Shaohua still has the nerve to say that…

Han Shaohua was furious. He was really angry. He realized he was sick.

He doesn't like the many beautiful women surrounding him, yet he has his eye on an ugly woman who abuses him.

Although it had been a while since we last saw each other, Xu Manman looked much fairer, her skin was smoother, and her hair was shinier.

At best, he's just an ugly duckling that's somewhat pleasing to the eye.

When Han Shaohua dreamed about Xu Manman, he completely broke down.

But he's just a jerk.

I finally managed to squeeze out some time, but I still couldn't resist coming over to see her.

Han Shaohua was so angry that his liver hurt, and he couldn't help but lose his temper: "Xu Manman, you are really blind. Am I, a healthy person, not better than Fei Huainan, a cripple?"

He can give Xu Manman happiness, but can Fei Huainan?

If Fei Huainan were still the captain of the Flying Eagles team and the king of soldiers in the North District, Han Shaohua wouldn't dare say that.

But it's different now.

Fei Huainan is now disabled and will have to live a life of farming in this small village.

He's different. He's a soldier with a bright future. Wouldn't it be better for Xu Manman to follow him than to follow a disabled old farmer?

Just as Xu Manman was about to retort, Fei Huainan pressed down on her shoulder. Xu Manman shrank back and looked up at him.

Fei Huainan said gently, "It's too cold outside. Look at your face, it's all red from the cold. Let's go back inside!"

Xu Manman wanted to turn around and look at Han Shaohua, but she felt the pressure on her shoulder suddenly increase.

Forget it, if you don't court death, you won't die.

"Better to die than to die myself," Xu Manman said, and went into the room without looking back.

Han Shaohua saw this and kept shouting from behind.

"Xu Manman, you're such a coward. Why are you so afraid of him? I'm here and I'll protect you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Manman walked even faster, as if she were being chased by a vicious dog.

Seeing that Xu Manman had left, Han Shaohua glared angrily at Fei Huainan.

"Fei Huainan, if you don't have the ability to give Xu Manman happiness, you should let go as soon as possible. It's better for both of you."

A cold glint flashed in Fei Huainan's eyes, but a slight smile remained on his lips: "I'm letting go and making room for you. What makes you think you're better than me?"

“I remember you were just a deputy company commander. A deputy company commander doesn’t even meet the standard for allowing family members to accompany the soldier.”

"You're already twenty-six this year, and you're not even a battalion commander at this age. Tsk tsk, you're not capable."

"That's fine, but I remember you're terrible at everything, from chopping wood to carrying water. You can't even do the slightest farm work right. With your abilities, how can you talk about happiness?"

Han Shaohua's face flushed red with anger: "I don't meet the standards for accompanying military personnel. You used to be eligible to have your family accompany you, but unfortunately, you're not even a soldier anymore, and your leg is crippled."

“Even if I’m not as good as you in every way, at least I have good legs, I can jump and leap, and I have a future. I’ll definitely become a battalion commander in the future, and my family can come with me.”

"And those small chores like chopping wood and carrying water, I just don't want to do them. Otherwise, I could do them better than you."

Fei Huainan's lips curled into a smile: "Is that so?"

He looked clearly disbelieving.

Han Shaohua straightened his chest: "Anyway, I won't be worse off than a cripple."

Inside the room, Xu Manman covered her ears. She had never seen anyone so eager to die; she couldn't stand it.

Calling someone a cripple in front of others is why Fei Huainan was provoked to kill them in his dream.

She's now considering silencing them.

Outside, Fei Huainan led Han Shaohua to a wooden shed, where there was firewood that was barely tall enough for two people.

These are all firewood prepared for winter, neatly stacked, and none of them have been chopped.

On the other side, there was a pile of firewood, taller than a person, that had already been chopped.

Han Shaohua looked at the firewood with a bewildered expression: "Why did you bring me here?"

Fei Huainan gestured with his chin towards the firewood: "I, this cripple, chopped all this firewood."

Han Shaohua scoffed dismissively, "It's just some firewood, anyone can do that..."

Before Han Shaohua could finish speaking, an axe was shoved into his hand: "Then let me see if you're more powerful than this cripple."

Han Shaohua was a little confused; he felt that something was wrong.

Fei Huainan sneered: "Could it be that you're not as good as a cripple like me?"

"Who said that? I'll chop it then." Han Shao's fighting spirit was instantly ignited. He wanted to prove to Xu Manman that he was much better than Fei Huainan.

He is the one who can bring Xu Manman happiness.

Han Shaohua took the axe and buried himself in his work.

Fei Huainan glanced at Han Shaohua, who was working, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. Then, ignoring Han Shaohua, he turned and went into the room.

Xu Manman had been peeking in, but when she saw Fei Huainan come in, she quickly sat down and pretended to be busy painting.

Fei Huainan sat to the side, staring at Xu Manman.

Xu Manman immediately stiffened up, and she became clumsy and awkward in everything she did.

After enduring it for a while, Xu Manman couldn't take it anymore and turned around to see Fei Huainan staring blankly.

He was really just spacing out.

This was the first time Xu Manman had ever seen Fei Huainan in a daze, his eyes vacant, not looking at her at all...

Is it because she feels too guilty?

Fei Huainan was just thinking about Han Shaohua.

Han Shaohua was sent by Liu Boyu.

When he was guessing Liu Boyu's purpose, he deduced that Liu Boyu wanted Han Shaohua to seduce Xu Manman and use Xu Manman to deal with him.

To be on the safe side.

He tried to bring up Han Shaohua to observe Xu Manman's reaction.

Unexpectedly, Xu Manman was even more wary than he was.

Once he was sure Xu Manman wouldn't fall for it, he stopped paying attention to the matter.

Unexpectedly, after a period of time, Han Shaohua's gaze towards Xu Manman changed.
